Real Madrid Stun Manchester City with Late Comeback in Champions League Thriller
Jude Bellingham's stoppage-time winner gives Real Madrid a 3-2 first-leg advantage after a dramatic clash at the Etihad Stadium.
- Real Madrid secured a 3-2 victory against Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League knockout tie, with Jude Bellingham scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time.
- Erling Haaland scored twice for City, including a penalty, but the Premier League side squandered their lead in the final minutes due to defensive errors and misjudgments by goalkeeper Ederson.
- Substitute Brahim Díaz equalized for Real Madrid shortly after coming on, capitalizing on a rebound from a Vinícius Júnior shot that Ederson failed to handle cleanly.
- Vinícius Júnior played a pivotal role, showcasing his skill and resilience despite facing hostility from the home crowd, and set up Bellingham's winning goal with a clever lob over Ederson.
- The second leg is scheduled for February 19 at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Real Madrid will look to capitalize on their narrow advantage to progress to the next round.
